Brick Red Oxide Pigment

Product Data Sheet

Brick Red: This reminds me of a fire house, with all the beautiful bricks setting off the power inside -- it's that great color of deep red with a tinge of orange which makes it a great year round color. Approved for use in cosmetics, including lip products. While this is a non-bleeding colorant, if you add too much to your soap it can migrate into other colors in the soap design or stain washcloths. We recommend starting out at 1/16th to 1/8th teaspoon per pound for melt & pour soaps. For cold process, add 1 teaspoon of oxide to 1 tablespoon of a carrier oil like Sweet Almond or Olive Oil and mix well using a mini mixer. To create the color in the sample of cold process soap above, we used 1.5 teaspoons of colorant (about 0.15 oz before dispersing) in 1 pound of soap.

Not bad at all

I really like this.. However, it looks nothing like the picture. It is a more dark red. One shade lighter than the bergundy. It's a dark red. U need a tiny bit! I wish we could post pictures of stuff we made. It would be sooo helpful to others and be nice to see others pics.. Helps alot. Will I get this again.. Yes because u can mix it with pearl white mica or gold and it's really pretty. Can't wait to make eyeshadow

Pretty, but...

You really have to be careful how much you use. I used the amount "recommended" and my soap is unusable due to how much it bleeds and stains. No points off, it's just something to be careful about.

Very deep red

The name definitely fits the color. It reminds me of red brick houses. With most pigments you have to be careful with how much you use. It's a lot different then working with a mica. I premix it as per the instructions & add a little at a time to my soap batter until I get the desired color. If you add too much it will stain washcloths & towels. I mix this a small amount of this with the Pearlescent White Mica to make a lip gloss for my 4 y/o granddaughter. It makes her feel like a grown up getting to wear a red lip gloss.

A decent option for a darker brick oxide

This one isn't one I would probably choose without a specific project in mind; however, I can definitely see the potential in multiple uses.
